Hello!

I am running into this issue. Given a dictionary that has an array as one of the items, I am not finding the way to append a value to the array inside the ditionary. I might be missing something. Is this possible?

Thanks!

it is definitely possible, but rather than us guessing whether you are dealing with Python or dictionaries in VEX or dictionary attributes and giving you random examples, it's better if you clarify your exact issue you are running into

but in short in VEX:

in Python:

True indeed. Sorry about not specifying! I was talking about vex! I thought I had tried your suggestion, I will check where my mistake is.
Thanks Tomas!

Hello again!

but in short in VEX:

//if myDict contains: {"key": [1, 2]}
append(myDict["key"], 3);
//results in: {"key": [1, 2, 3]}

While this is indeed working for integers and floats, it is not working if the array for that key is a string array. It is giving me the following error:

Invalid source /obj/hashmaps_dictionaries/anagram_list_hashmaps/attribvop1.
(Error: Ambiguous call to function append(). Candidates are: void append(string &; string), void append(string &; string) (56,1:6)).

Is there a workaround or something that I am missing?

(It also seems like vector arrays aren't supported either, upon testing I am having the same issue reported here: https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/81985/)

Thanks!

if the array for that key is a string array. It is giving me the following error:

while append() seems to have this issue push seems to work so you can potentially use that:

(It also seems like vector arrays aren't supported either, upon testing I am having the same issue reported here:

the docs don't list vector arrays in the list of supported dictionary values so it's likely they may not be supported
you can potentially use serialize() unserialize() functions to convert between flat float array and vector or matrix arrays, therefore store them as flat float array in dictionaries
